25.01.2022 How do sperm swim? Well, for centuries, weve all believed that sperm swim through the female reproductive tract by lashing their tails from side to side, rather like eels. BUT ... scientists using state-of-the-art 3D microscopy, ultra-high speed photography and mathematics have smashed that theory, saying that in fact, another animal analogy is more apt: sperm are more like playful otters corkscrewing through water.... The discovery reveals that the sperm tail is, in fact, wonky and wiggles on only one side. This uneven stroke puts the sperm at risk of swimming in circles, which is avoided through a clever adaptation. #sperm #malefertility #maleinfertility #fertility #infertility #IVF #ICSI #andrology

24.01.2022 Does it help you to hear about other people's fertility journeys? Sylvia Jeffreys from Today Extra has opened up about her fertility treatment and understandably, it's obviously still a highly emotional subject for her to talk about. We love that she's building awareness about the process of IVF. #IVF #fertility #infertility #fertilityawareness #TTC

22.01.2022 #IVFFirsts - Genea is the home of many of the worlds IVF advances. Incubators are a vital element of fertility treatment, theyre the equivalent of a humidicrib for your embryos. Before our sister clinic Genea developed our current incubator, Geri, their embryologists actually helped develop one of the first mini incubators back in the 1990s. It simulated the natural environment of human fallopian tubes by using low oxygen levels and introducing just the right amount of ca...rbon dioxide to help embryos grow. Known as MINCs, these incubators also maintained the optimal temperature to reduce stress on the embryo and theyre still in use in many Australian clinics. Weve moved on and now only culture patients embryos in the latest time-lapse incubator, Geri. Once inside the incubators, precious embryos are nurtured and supported by culture medium. Genea has also been developing and using its own culture medium for more than two decades. Exclusive to Genea in Australia and used by more than 600 clinics around the world, our experience in culture medium development is world leading. More recently, we have developed and released a continuous culture medium which means that embryos can develop undisturbed in the same liquid for the five or six days they spend in our labs. Its made in a specialised lab right here in our Sydney headquarters. #fertility #infertility #IVF #worldleaders #science #fertilityscience #TTC

22.01.2022 #IVFFirsts - Genea Elements IVF is the home of many of the worlds IVF advances. Did you know that our sister clinic Genea was the first clinic in Australia to develop and routinely replace the old slow freezing method for embryos and eggs with the more efficient and successful vitrification process? Genea then went on to create the worlds first automated vitrification instrument - Gavi - which is exclusive to Genea, Genea Elements and Genea Hollywood clinics in Australia.... Gavi allows all embryos to be cryo-preserved under exactly the same conditions and therefore maximises the opportunity for each embryo to develop into a healthy pregnancy. Genea also ships the Australian-made Gavi to clinics all around the world. #fertility #IVF #infertility #fertilitytreatment #TTC #vitrification #fertilitytreatment #Gavi

20.01.2022 Infertility is hard. Sometimes you just need to give yourself permission to say no. And if you cant, we will.

19.01.2022 40 may be the new 30 in most areas of life but when it comes to fertility, age is not something you can easily overcome. And it matters to both men and women. Fertility Week this year is focused on the impact of age on male and female fertility in the hope it will empower people to discuss their plans for a baby if they want one. Australian netball star and Fertility Week Ambassador, Liz Ellis talks about her experiences dealing with infertility: https://www.facebook.com/YourFertility/videos/685781082041734 #fertilityweek #ttc #ttccommunity #fertility #fertilityawareness #womenshealth #menshealth #ageandfertility #womensfertility #malefertility #FertilityWeek2020 #infertility

19.01.2022 Lets break down the silence around miscarriage once and for all. Were trying to help by amplifying the stories of people who have experienced early pregnancy loss. Why is it that nobody really talks to you about miscarriage when you start trying to get pregnant but as soon as you let people know youve had a miscarriage, many come forward to tell you about the babies theyve lost? This writer had exactly that experience. "Although were becoming more aware as a society, m...iscarriage is still steeped in shame and secrecy," she said. #miscarriage #earlypregnancyloss #pregnancyloss #circleofsupport #miscarriagesupport #miscarriageawareness #fertility #TTC

18.01.2022 #NationalScienceWeek Today, were talking with Casidhe, one of our IVF Scientists from Genea Canberra. IVF scientists deal with all aspects of assisted reproductive treatment and fertility preservation including embryology, andrology and biochemistry. In Casidhes words, basically I help to make babies for a living. Casidhe says she loves the hands on aspect of clinical science as well as the patient interactions. Her message to future scientists is: If you are passionat...e about understanding how the world works and making a difference there are so many aspects of science that youre bound to find an area that interests you. #science #scienceweek #scientist #embryology #embryologist #lab #IVF #fertility #infertility #fertilityscience #australianscience

17.01.2022 Have you heard of brain fog? If you feel like your brain is full of cotton wool at the moment you're not alone and it's real - it's brain fog. Many Australians are struggling to concentrate or be productive at the moment. Your mind wanders and the simplest things can distract you. The helpful folk at Live Life Get Active say structure helps to stop our minds from wandering and from worrying.

17.01.2022 One of the Genea Hollywood Fertility Fertility Specialists Dr Joo Teoh has appeared on the Nourish Nurture Breathe Podcast to explore fertility and IVF. https://www.nourishnurturebreathe.com//14-exploring-ivf-an #fertility #infertility #TTC #IVF

17.01.2022 Infertility is still largely thought of as a female issue. It's not. The cause of infertility is equally split between men and women - 40% of cases each. The cause behind the remaining 20% of infertility in Australia is generally unexplained. Genea Elements IVF's Fertility Specialists have many tactics to overcome infertility on the man's side so please get in touch if you think that's what's happening with you. #maleinfertility #malefertility #infertility #fertility #andrology

13.01.2022 #NationalScienceWeek In our last scientist profile for the week we talk with Dan. He has a twin role as a Senior Embryologist with Genea Fertility and as a Fertility Laboratory Trainer with Geneas Centre of Excellence for Fertility in Bangkok. As a Senior Embryologist he works in Geneas Kent Street clinic and as a Fertility Laboratory Trainer he educates embryologists and lab directors from around the world in what it takes to run a high quality IVF laboratory and clinic.... Another part of his role is consulting in clinics around South East Asia which involves providing an objective assessment on the things theyre doing well and advice on the things they can improve, ultimately to improve success rates for their patients. Dan says his favourite part of the job is the people: Whether its my fellow embryologists, the nurses, all the supporting staff at Genea its an incredible team we have here. Its also a privilege to be able to combine my embryology knowledge and skills with my passion for teaching and training at the CoE in Bangkok. Not only am I able to pass on Geneas experience and expertise to embryologists from around the world, I always walk away from our courses having learned something new as well. Unquestionably, however, the thing I love most about my job is talking with patients helping them to understand the science behind their infertility and talking them through both the positive and challenging times in their journey brings me immense job satisfaction. #science #scienceweek #scientist #embryology #embryologist #lab #IVF #fertility #infertility #fertilityscience #australianscience

12.01.2022 #IVFFirsts - Genea Elements IVF is the home of many of the worlds IVF advances. Our sister clinic Genea was the first clinic in Australia to introduce routine single embryo transfer. While many clinics worldwide transfer more than one embryo to try to improve their chances of success, Genea Elements technology allows us to achieve high success rates while transferring a single, carefully selected embryo. Having a patient-focused team of clinicians, nurses and scientists a...llowed us to achieve this faster than other clinics in Australia. Many patients have benefited greatly through improved pregnancy safety as a result of this process. #IVF #fertility #infertility #TTC #singleembryotransfer

12.01.2022 Almost one in 20 babies in Australia are now born through IVF. The latest figures on assisted reproductive technology in Australia show that success rates for IVF are increasing and the proportion of twins and triplets born following treatment is the lowest ever. At Genea Elements, our world leading technology is key to our patients having a baby in the least number of cycles possible. Check out Geri, our in-house designed benchtop incubator, in this Sunrise news report. #IVF #fertility #infertility

10.01.2022 Pregnancy loss affects 1 in 4 pregnancies. The Pink Elephants Support Network is encouraging women to support each other and be part of the #CircleofSupport so no one suffers alone. It’s believed that when a mother elephant loses her baby, the other elephants stand in a circle around her, allowing her all the time she needs to grieve and mourn. The #circleofsupport collective is the heartbeat of Pink Elephants. Like the elephants who hold space to support a grieving mother, they understand the importance of creating safe spaces. They ensure no one walks the journey alone. #PinkElephants is hoping people will consider pledging to give $14 to empower the circle of support. #pregnancyloss #miscarriage #miscarriagesupport #rightthestory #1in4

10.01.2022 September is PCOS Awareness Month. Well be sharing more information about PCOS in coming weeks but wanted to start with a comment piece from someone who has been in the same place as you. Discovering you have Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) can be frightening. Theres confusion about the symptoms and what it means for your fertility and your health. PCOS is a hormonal condition which affects approximately one in 10 people of reproductive age. Some of the symptoms are ir...regular menstrual cycles, excessive facial or body hair, hair loss, acne, reduced fertility and depression and anxiety. Lauren Tench created the popular Instagram awareness account @endolauren to share her journey with endometriosis.

08.01.2022 Some Dads in our community have to say goodbye to their little one before they even get a chance to say hello. Ahead of Fathers Day, wed like to share this article from our friends Tommys which aims to help men know that its okay to grieve. Numerous studies have shown men experience vulnerability and powerlessness after the loss of a baby yet many feel unable to talk about it. Its a generalisation but we find that men tend to internalise and deny their grief, or attempt... to distract themselves rather than speaking about their loss. Read how to break that cycle. #dads #bereaveddads #fathers #father #babyloss #babylossawareness #miscarriage #pregnancyloss #grief #grieve

08.01.2022 The Scientific Director of our sister clinic Genea, Steven McArthur recently discussed the new wave of fertility innovation with his alma mater, The University of Newcastle, Australia. Using AI technology, the scientist can choose an embryo they think is best for transfer and run an image we have collected from the Geri incubator to get some validation from the AI. The beauty of AI or machine learning is exactly that: it learns. So over time, the machine will get better and better at confirming which is the best embryo for transfer. #science #university #AI #IVF #fertility #infertility #embryo #embryoselection #machinelearning

07.01.2022 In the lead up to Mother’s Day, The Pink Elephants Support Network has created 1st May Circle of Support Day to give you a day to feel validated in your struggle and your losses and to feel supported by your own support crew and to celebrate them.

02.01.2022 #IVFFirsts Genea Elements IVF is the home of many of the worlds IVF advances. Scientists at our sister clinic Genea, pioneered pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD also known as PGT) and our expertise and techniques are among the best in the world. Many clinics have followed their lead and modeled their approach to embryo biopsy on Geneas. Genea also developed the worlds first clinically applicable blastocyst biopsy method - now used routinely by IVF clinics around the... globe. PGD techniques involve testing embryos created in the IVF process for genetic abnormalities and help detect the best possible embryo for transfer. PGS is used by couples who are older, have experienced recurrent miscarriage or have had a number of failed embryo transfers following IVF treatment. It maximises patients potential to have a baby by reducing miscarriage rates and increasing live birth rates. PGD is often used by couples who dont have an infertility issue but know they carry a serious genetic disorder, with the aim of having a child free of the disease. At Genea and Genea Elements, we have experience with more than 230 genetic diseases as part of our PGD program. These conditions are often disabling, have no prevention, cure or proven treatments, beyond symptomatic care. For example, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington disease, Hameophilia and Fragile X. PGD also screens for cystic fibrosis which is the most common single gene disorder screened for at Genea and Genea Elements. #geneticscreening #PGD #PGS #IVF #fertility #infertility

01.01.2022 Its #NationalScienceWeek and here at Genea Elements IVF, we believe our innovative approach to fertility science is a vital element of the care and success we offer our patients. To celebrate, we are going to introduce some of our scientists and let them explain in their own words what they do. First up is Steve, a Supervising Scientist in Geneas Molecular Genetics Laboratory. When asked how he describes his role to friends and family, Steve said: Testing of IVF embryos ...for inherited genetic diseases and random chromosome errors, thereby permitting the choice of healthy embryos for implantation. He loves that his job gives him the chance to help people achieve their dream of a healthy baby free of a hereditary disorder. And he likes challenges in his spare time too, taking on rock climbing and mountaineering. #science #scienceweek #scientist #PGD #geneticscreening #molecular #molecularscientist #lab #IVF #fertility #infertility #fertilityscience #australianscience
